Had nice weather yesterday before rain moved in, so prioritized making sure the OSB was protected enough since it shouldn't get wet & I don't have plastic laying around. Sealed up all the seams with silicone & painted over with flat black spray paint.
For additional protection, I used aluminum facia trim for a roof. Scrap block pieces from the glazing support gave it a little pitch. Screwed it down with roofing screws that were laying around. When things dry up, installing the pex-al-pex pipe & absorber fins will be next.
Also, looking at the actual dimensions & depending how I do the glazing the collector area is looking more like 118-125 square feet.
